Any under-discovered/under appreciated Scandinavian rock/metal bands? ?

   I am looking to learn about under-discovered or underappreicated rock and metal bands from Scandinavia. They could be older or newer, as long as they never reached much of the mainstreams and never received much popularity.

    Not Scandinavian but Baltic and slavic. 

    Lithuanian - Thundertale (hard rock), Gyvata (folk/pagan rock), Juodvarnis (black metal) and Wolfsome (sound similar to Black Keys.) 

    Skyforger (Latvian). 

    Helroth and Percival Schuttenbach (Polish)

    How about some Kent or is this too soft? They are very popular in Sweden, but probably not all that well known outside of Sweden.

    Kent - Kärleken väntar

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TMVhSEZeOI

    Or this old classic?

    Mikael Rickfors - Vingar

    Another classic... Once again, too soft? I'm not really into rock. =)

    Tomas Ledin - Just nu

    I don't consider any of the Scandinavian music I listen to to be undiscovered, it's all fairly well known within the scene, but there isn't really any such thing as "mainstream" metal, as in getting radio play and such.

    Ihsahn, Leprous, Shining(NOR), Borknagar, Enslaved, Amorphis, Ensiferum, Stam1na, Meshuggah, Opeth, Soilwork, Edge of Sanity, At the Gates, Dimmu Borgir(actually this band got very popular)

    The Raveonettes might fit that description.
